Since Irina can paint 1 room in 9 hours, that means she paints 1/9 of the room in 1 hour. Her portion of the equation would be 1/9x, with x being the number of hours she works and 1/9 of a room per hour being her speed.
Since Paulo can paint 1 room in 8 hours, that means he paints 1/8 of the room in 1 hour. His portion of the equation would be 1/8x, with x being the number of hours he works and 1/8 of a room per hour being his speed.
The equation would then be 1/9x + 1/8x = 1 (Irina's portion of the room, plus Paulo's portion of the room, equal to one whole room).
Find a common denominator. 72 is the first number that both 9 and 8 divide evenly into. Since 9*8 = 72, we multiply the top of 1/9 by 8 to convert the fraction and get 8/72x. Since 8*9 = 72, we multiply the top of 1/8 by 9 to convert the fractio and get 9/72x. We now have 8/72x+9/72x=1
17/72x=1
Divide both sides by 17/72:
17/72x ÷ 17/72 = 1÷17/72
x=1/1 ÷ 17/72
x=1/1 * 72/17
x=72/17=4.24
Together it should take them 4.24 hours.
The value of x in the given right triangle is approximately 7.14
<h3>How to find unknown side in a right triangle?</h3>
- Hypotenuse = 10
- opposite = x
- Adjacent = 7
Hypotenuse² = opposite² + adjacent ²
10² = x² + 7²
100 = x² + 49
100 - 49 = x²
51 = x²
x = √51
x = 7.14142842854284
Approximately,
x = 7.14

2.9 x 7 = 20.3 because 2.9 per day times seven days in one week is 20.3 hours in a week
Answer:
22.919 or 23 degrees
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the theta or x in place of the usual angle. the lengths are adjacent and hypotenuse (a/h) so you use cosine. cos(x)=35/38 or cos(θ)=35/38
